ISEE and Tico automating yard trailer movements

by Today's Trucking

ISEE and Tico have announced a partnership that has deployed a fully autonomous terminal tractor to a Fortune 100 logistics provider.

ISEE says it’s the first company to achieve fully driverless yard operations in mixed-traffic environments, with multiple autonomous trucks deployed at customer sites. The autonomous terminal trucks have since completed thousands of trailer moves without a driver, the company says.

The partnership with terminal truck manufacturer Tico provides a streamlined upfit process, marrying ISEE’s autonomy kit components with Tico’s terminal tractor. Trucks will be available fueled by diesel, CNG or batteries.

“This partnership sets a new standard for OEM-integrated yard automation,” said Yibiao Zhao, co-founder and CEO of ISEE. “By combining our AI-driven autonomy stack with Tico widely adopted and serviceable tractor platform, we’re delivering a scalable solution that improves safety, reduces labor dependency, and boosts operational efficiency across the full spectrum of logistics yards.”

“We are excited to bring to market the first OEM-integrated autonomous yard truck,” added Jim Grooms, president of Tico. “ISEE brings industry-leading autonomous technology that has earned strong customer feedback in complex logistics environments. Together, we’re offering a production-ready solution designed to operate reliably across warehouse, plant, and port settings — at scale.”

The companies say additional North American deployments will take place this year.
